Free Shipping with another item - need advide

Most items in my shop have free shipping with the purchase of another item using the default Etsy shipping tool. I have had a customer convo me after she received the items who said that she thought that was free shipping on everything if she bought more than one item. She was charged $10 for shipping and my cost was $15. She was very complimentary about the itmes ad the speed of shipping.

I am not sure what to reply back. On one hand, I would like to generate repeat business. On the other hand, it is not a huge profit. Should I just explain to her how shipping on Etsy works, or should I explain and say in the interest of good customer service that I will offer her a refund this one time?

Thanks.

Re: Free Shipping with another item - need advide

It is very rare to get free shipping on Internet orders
In this case you spent more on shipping than she paid
I would nicely explain to her how the shipping costs work in your shop (flat fee regardless of quantity) and apologize for the confusion
You can always offer a discount code for future purchase if you feel so inclined
